1. Monotone Suits

Priyanka Chopra has worn one in shocking pink. Sonam Kapoor followed it up with not one but two appearances in a mono-suit, well... almost. She claimed the trend in a double breasted Bouguessa look. Subsequently, she picked a Studio Kojak suit that featured varying hues of the colour red.

There appearances are a dead giveaway for the arrival of the trend – monotone suits are happening for 2018, yugaiiz!

2. Fanny Pack

Fanny packs are Deepika Padukone-approved. Last week, the actress skipped on lugging around her roomy Celine tote and instead went handsfree… with a Gucci fanny pack, of course. She picked an embellished style that was OTT on all accounts. Have a crack at the trend with a basic sleek style. It’s an acquired taste, really.

3. Ankle-wrap Heels

Weary of the same ol’ tie-up sandals? Aishwarya Rai Bachchan suggests you wrap it around the ankle. The mother of one was recently seen working the footwear trend in a pricey Christian Louboutin pair. Nope, you don’t break the bank. There are enough styles that will sit just fine on your ankle. Try this (hyperlink)?

4. Ruched Dress

For the uninformed, ruched is a gathered stitch that usually features on waist-skimming numbers. The international runways have been inundated with the style. Closer to home, Diana Penty embraced the trend in a Appapop shirt dress. We recommend that you begin your ruched journey with daywear dresses and transition into form-fitting bodycons.

5. Anything Gucci

Literally anything Gucci – everything from their classic Sylvie bag to their furry loafers to the Bebo-approved t-shirt that the actress insists on wearing to every airport outing. Pick anything with the brand’s tag and gain insider access to the Gucci gang.

6. Personality Tee

From last year’s feminist tees, we have legit entered the phase of “say what you have to”. Kangana Ranaut was spotted wearing an artsy print on hers, whereas Miss Piggy Chops wore an oversized style that had Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain splatted all across it. Have something to say? Find a tee for it.
